Roaring River Fly Fishing

Fly fishermen may catch all the trout they want during the winter at Roaring River State Park near Cassville, Mo., as long as they throw them all back. Catch-and-release fly fishing is offered Fridays through Mondays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. until mid February. Only flies may be used. The park is quiet and uncrowded during the winter fly fishing season. Anglers may have long stretches of the trout stream to themselves. Fishing was good during a trip to the park on Jan. 3, 2014.
